75% of American adults suffer from chronic dehydration and to help more people meet the recommended daily water intake, air up—the company behind the world's first refillable scent-based drinking system—is introducing the next-generation Polymer Adapter Bottle (Gen2 PAB). This iF Design Award winner is leak-free, dishwasher-safe and made with more than 50% recyclable materials.
air up challenges the idea that drinking water is a chore by using pods that allow users to flavor their water using only scent. Gen2 PAB boasts instant flavor activation thanks to the innovative ActiveOn Mouthpiece, which needs no lifting for infusion.
Soon, the brand will be launching two new five-pod variety packs in the United States: one with mango passion fruit, peach iced tea, lime, cherry cola and cassis fruit, and a second with cola, watermelon, orangeade, apple, and pineapple.
